Tools Needed
This easy Grinch fudge recipe only requires a few kitchen essentials!
How to Make Grinch Fudge
Blend the sugar, butter and sweetener until light and fluffy. Mix in the vanilla and heavy whipping cream until smooth and creamy.
Add the food coloring and continue mixing.
Spread the mixture into a 9×9 parchment-lined baking dish. Chill in the freezer until the mixture has hardened, usually 1-2 hours.
Remove the fudge and slice to serve. Garnish with a large red heart sprinkle or red sanding sugar sprinkles before serving.
Grinch Fudge Variations
If you’re missing one of the ingredients, don’t fret! There are plenty of substitutions available that can make your low carb Grinch fudge just as delicious.
Instead of using butter, you can try coconut oil as a dairy free alternative. For the cream cheese, you can substitute it with Greek yogurt for a tangy twist. Lastly, if you don’t have heavy whipping cream on hand, you can substitute it with coconut cream or almond milk for a lighter texture.
Serving Grinch Fudge
The fudge itself is straightforward to prepare, but presenting it on your dessert table can add to your overall holiday theme. Consider using a red or green themed platter to make your fudge pop.
You can also try using wrapping paper rolls as a base for a tower of fudge, like in those classic Christmas movies. Add some crushed sugar free candy canes and a few Grinch-themed decorations for the finishing touch!
How to Store Grinch Fudge
After you’ve whipped up your fudge, you want to make sure you know how to store it properly. If stored in an airtight container, you can refrigerate it for one to two weeks.
Can You Freeze Fudge?
You can absolutely freeze fudge and keep it frozen. You will want to slice the fudge before putting it in the freezer. This will allow you to take them out one by one as well as help the thawing process.
I discovered this the hard way when I froze a banana and then couldn’t peel it. Always prepare whatever you are freezing ahead of time.
